'Terrified and starving Simba the lion cub is another victim of cruel wildlife trade'

Simba’s short life has been full of suffering.

In September 2020, when he was just weeks’ old, the lion cub was found dumped in a cardboard box in a garage near Moscow.

Terrified and starving, he was missing most of his fur, and was so weak he could barely stand – another ­innocent victim of the cruel wildlife trade.
